Excellent video!! My grandfather (b. 1871) came from Norway to America and then Duluth after his brother said "There's a ship leaving for America tomorrow, let's go! My grandfather was 16yrs old. He was a soldier in the Spanish-american War (1898). He settled in Duluth and worked in a foundry in West Duluth and had a home built there. He had three daughters (b. 1910-1915's). One taught home economics at Ordean Jr High. The middle sister was a professor of Art Education in the New York University System and my mother was an honor graduate from Northwestern University and taught choral music education in Winnetka Illinois and in the suburbs just west of Milwaukee. He saw a lot of changes to Duluth over those years. He never learned to drive a car and passed away at 96 with a full head of pure white hair. The most polite manners of any one I ever knew.
Mr. Greg Grell, cast and crew, thank you for your time and effort, and passion for preserving the history of this small American town. I've been there a few times, and have considered moving there many more. Thanks again for such a rich and informative lesson in history, What a fabulous resource! If only more communities took the time to preserve their heritage, thank you!
Sam Getta “preserve their heritage “?? all Duluth has done is tear down any building with historical or architectural significance. Hence the title LOST Duluth.

The fascinating thing about Duluth is that there are all these ruins scattered everywhere - pavement, stairs, foundations, walls, parts of buildings. Growing up in the 1980s was like living in a graveyard, surrounded by lost history. Of course, the local economy was reeling from the collapse of the Iron Range and the US Steel plant, and the transition to tourism hadn't yet occurred. But Duluth was a big town, far larger than its population suggested. Its many neighborhoods had their own character, and traveling from London Road and St Scholastica to, say, Morgan Park was like visiting several different cities. A lot of that is now lost today, another 20 years added to the graveyard.
One can't help wondering why so many things were not rebuilt, why so much is still undeveloped, only the shrinking population and economy, not to mention the winter weather, are an obvious answer. But with climate warming, in 100 years, I suspect we will find Duluth's population climbing once more, to slowly become a major city as it once promised to become.

I was the youngest in a family of eight children growing up in Duluth during the height of it's growth of the 1960's. Born in 1956, I remember Duluth with much fondness. My father was useless, and eventually went to prison. I remember moving from place to place around Duluth. I can count 8 different places we lived, and I am sure my older siblings remember many more. Most of the places we lived were usually condemned after we moved. I would eventually leave home for the first time when I was 16, in 1972. We lived in the East end, the middle of town, in the North of town, in West Duluth, out in Gary/New Duluth area, Herman Town, Proctor, and even on the very outskirts of town along old Hy 61. I was quite young then, but I bet that I could still spot the place we buried our dog under the old pole in the yard that held a bird house. It's now under I-35, but I bet I could get close. We were one of the earliest families who lived in the old housing project above Duluth. I still remember our address when I was 8 years old in 1963, 1201-C East 1st Ave W. I may have it a bit off, but that would be close. As I would learn later it was after Dad was sent to Stillwater. While we lived there my oldest four siblings all attended Central High on Lake Ave and 2nd while two other brothers attended Denfeld Junior High. One of them, Angie, would eventually graduate from there. Me and my other sister both attended Neddleton school at the time. One memory that will be with me forever. was that during that first year we lived there. It was Winter and started snowing early in the day. Like all young kids do, me and my friends got our sleds and decided to go sledding. I remember heading out after one of my older sister made me some lunch. It was snowing pretty steady all day, and me and a few friends wanted to take advantage of the fresh snow. As usually, we played out till it got dark, not thinking how long we were gone. Well the street lights started coming on knew it was time to quit. We all said our goodbyes and headed to our home. I remember how everything looked the same. And eventually I got lost, because all the apartment buildings looked the same. I could not tell one place from another. With all the fresh snow I remember being disorientated and started to worry, as the snow just kept coming down. I remember pulling my sled from building to building looking for our apartment. Mind you, I was only eight, and had not remembered the apartment number yet. After all, we had only lived there a short time. Finally I sat down on the steps in front of someone's house and started to cry. I was sure I was never going to find my home. As I sat with my head in my hands, getting colder and colder, I just cried, not loud, but more like sobbing. Then a lady sat down next to me and asked my why I was crying. I mumbled through my mittens that I was lost. The lady then put her arms around me, pulled me into her and started saying something that turned my sadness into joy. She told me, “Clarence, you're not lost, your at home". It was then that I recognized my Mom's voice. I looked up at her and jumped up into her arms, as she hugged me and laughed, but more of a kind of chuckle a parent has when their kid does something cute and silly. I was home, and I didn't even know it. So many memories of those years growing up in Duluth. I could write stories all day long about the many things I did. Like the time we built a raft one spring when I was 10 or 11, and tried to float it down through those tunnels in the drainage canals to Lake Superior. To this day I'm sure we would have made it, if the raft hadn't come apart after about four blocks down the hill. I remember each of us helping each other get out of the water that was coming down pretty fast. Never a thought about drowning, we were pioneers, and on a mission. All wet and soaking, I finally got home. When I walked into the home, the look on my my Mom's face was priceless as I stood in the kitchen dripping water onto the floor from my very soaked cloths. Or the time we used to ride our Bicycles from West Duluth down to Leaf Erickson Park on the weekend and then to Park Point, being gone from morning till dark. Other times we rode our bike up the hill just to see how fast we could come down the hill, without any thought about traffic from cars. We were daredevils and crazy. It's by the grace of GOD any of us lived past 12. So many memories, I could write a book about those days.

In NJ where I lived for 30 years century homes have those carriage stones still,street are narrow through the town which was incorporated in 1776,I love historical sites and homes,I found a newspaper in the attic of our home from 1907!!I was enthralled!!
There is something special about that graveyard. I literally live right on the upperside of it a minute's walk away and I often stroll through there to clear my head and relax.
You oughtta get on over here. Folks often say there's really nothing quite like Duluth. It's an odd place, but I like calling it home. My favorite thing is the mishmash of deep northwood forest, rocky coastline and urban sprawl. You can drive ten minutes and be in a totally different environment.
As typical kids we use to get into some of those tunnels in the late 60s, early 70s. Toxic gasses were the furthest thing from our minds as we dodged massive spider webs and their creators.
Duluth should be studied as a prime example what happens when something of value is discovered and what happens afterward. I see this history as a rather depressing example how humanity/civilization, exploits something w/o ever considering the consequences and impact. There are 'Duluth's' all over this world today, being exploited just for the wealth a region may possess and left a wasteland after exploiters have made their money & have no further interest in area.
Duluth is a prime example of what happens after years of the same political party controlling things for too long. When the same political party controls a place for too long you get stagnation of ideas and things go sour. Doesn't matter what the politics are, it always comes down to politics being the problem, because those in control hate new ideas that may interfere with their control.
@@chuckness5372 My statement was not a comment about 'political parties' but more a philosophical statement about humanity and civilization in general.
I have some friends in Duluth. They invited me to come snowmobiling. It was in January. They didn't warn me how cold it can get. Holy Jeebus! it was -20! My poor diesel truck! I had to go buy warmer clothes. Still had a good time but I won't visit in January ever again. Maybe a summer fishing trip.
You're missing an entire bridge connecting Superior and Duluth. There was a mostly wooden steep and scary (for us kids) toll bridge (if not all) in the 50-60's. A 9hr drive from Milwaukee WI on a two lane "highway". We'd arrive after dark and the bridge was white with bright spot lighting. It freaked us out. I had my eyes closed. That's my bridge story.
Duluth history is mentioned in Bob Dylan's song "Desolation Row". The lyrics "circus in town" refer to the 1924 lynching of 3 Black circus workers by local Duluth people. They stood for a photo with the 3 dead bodies. These photos often became postcards, which Dylan saw later on, and wrote his song. Like Dylan, we can reflect upon this evil today, and keep working for better tomorrows.
How dare you quote Dylan lyrics to show support of Duluth. He hated Northern Minnesota and never gives credit to his upbringing. You are just as delusional as he is. 🤬

Please do a documentary just on lost houses and neighborhoods. I have a particular request for history on the house that once stood at 407 N 1st Avenue West. It was built in 1890 and torn down somewhere in 2011-2013. That's all I know, but want to know more. Especially if that area was affluent, middle class or lower class back in the early 1900s.
I wish we had another Beacon Hill Pavillion, that place must've been so majestic, especially at night and during its 1892 4th of July fireworks display.
Just off the railroad tracks above 57th and Medina there was a large train depot. Much of the foundations and bridge pilings can be seen. This area is below the Quarry near the Polaris and Wilbur Vault building which is still standing and in use (the Epicurean Co). I would very much like to see some photos of this, I know the depot burned in the 1930's. Any info would be great.
Chester Bowl was my playground. I still remember all the places my imagination took me. Catching crayfish under the bridge, fishing in the ponds, hiking along the creek & falling in on occasion, crabapples from the Afterno Home, kissing my first girl in the woods. Oh, yeah! Great place to grow up as a kid.
Very interesting documentary but I found it sad that they destroyed so many of the magnificent buildings. No class there, it's shameful not to preserve them.
Its not that bad yet.. i can for sure see it heading that way though, its only bad downtown really, which is where the most things to do is and where most tourists visit.. that is something i wish about duluth i do love being outside and thouroghly enjoy all the parks year round but i wish we had some more inside stuff for the winter
@@ANNABODO4612 when I talk to the homeless they usually tell me that its pretty bad , most get robbed from the other homeless people and drug addicts. What kind of ass hole steals from someone with nothing.🤬
Interesting, Thank you. But please in the future do not let the musicians control the audio balance. Older people's ears cannot so easily edit out secondary noise...so the otherwise charming piano score is making me nuts.... please use such era appropriate music is fine for introductions, endings, sand transitions, but to just have it pcontinuously laying straight through the narration is inexcusable. Thank you.
I was on a Minecraft video when I fell asleep and woke up to my phone waiting for me to press play on this, I’m fine with it because I get to learn something.
Oneonta cemetery Duluth Mn One of the most beautiful cemeteries any where, ANY WHERE! Look it up! Many of my relatives intered there. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grand parents. I'd like to be there too m, but I doubt my son and daughter will have any compelling emotional and accessibility to be able to travel there.
Lori K. My Great Grandfather and Great Great Grandmother are buried there. We had an opportunity to visit there several years ago. We had to research in a large old book to find their location. It was an interesting visit.
Is there anywhere like this that you know of that would resemble the southern part of the great lakes in the United States? If so please do tell I will pack my motorcycle bags and head there immediately! Your videos are so incredible I show them with everyone I know that loves the north
America, a question for you. What do places like Rome, London or Budapest for example, appear to have, and which you clearly don't? The luxury of time. The historical timeline and the events which are claimed to have happened are so blindingly ridiculous, its stupid. Your having been lied to feels unpleasant I'm sure, but just chalk it down to experience and take comfort in knowing you weren't alone! Don't continue to live their lies, live your own. Bon voyage whoever you really are.
Let's not pave the way for only the weathy? I've been too an old feed mill for horses...in the middle of soup town...that had a great brothel... specially built...up a separate set of stairs...lot of workin type men and women came through too..
The richer get richer and the rest of us get what little is left. I remember the signs along the roads for "Burma Shave" I miss those signs. I believe GM bought all the street cars and replaced them with the smelly buses.
It's Disturbing And Bothersome To Listen To These "Hysterical" (Historical) Recounts Based On A Script Put Together And Being Played Out Under Totally False Pretext. ALL Of These Amazing Early "Feats" Were NOT OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS! RESEARCH MUD FLOOD OR 1800S Reset NOTHING USE WHAT IT SEEMS. It Is Disturbing
American history of the european settlers is very young. The get rich mentality has in itself been it's downfall of today's politics for none inclusion of all which we see changing to encompass those who have been left behind. God gets the last say and some strive to share and others don't. Never felt sorry for a.materialistic rich person
By the way Jesus only recommended 10%. That is more than enough to help those that only need help. How much is "share" in your mind. Are you a Marxist? Even Chairman Mao made it very clear: if you don't work then you don't eat.
Why the inappropriate bayou /Cajun background music? Duluth is hardly New Orleans or Waveland, Mississippi. It’s distracting and ruins the otherwise interesting documentary.
What's with the incessant cowboy guitar pick'n "music" background? Annoying, you try watching the whole video. Lock up your weapons!! See if you get a bang out of it.
Why is no-one saying The sudden soap reversely obey because bench excitingly man from a ill-fated sandwich. super, permissible sled? Cause it makes no sense, is my guess.
It may have been normal to see a bear down on superior but now, no there are no bears, sadly the most common animal I witness in duluth is the fabled crackhead and the legendary heroin junky.
The era just after WW1 had several White Mob riots against Blacks. It was known as The Red Summers. Tulsa, Oklahoma was a White teen girl accusing a young Black man of "assaulting her". He was in jail, the Blacks fearing his lynching, came with guns. There were arguments, and somebody's gun went off, it turned into a riot. The Whites went into Greenwood District "the Black Wall Street" attacking any Blacks they found. Somebody went up in an airplane and drop fuel bombs on rooftops, soon the entire Greenwood was burning. Duluth in 1924, had a circus come to town. A white teen girl accused some Black circus workers of "assaulting her", a lynch mob of whites hung 3 Black circus workers, and posed for a group photo, made into a post card. Lynching post cards used to be mailed through U.S. Post Offices, with people writing notes to each other. Bob Dylan, looking at a photo of the post card long after 1924, wrote his song "Desolation Row" with lyrics about "circus in town". I do not glorify these incidents of violence. Let's be sober, and not simply forget this era. US Armed Forces were segregated until 1948, and that was KKK influence in US Govt. The War mixed Dixie whites with other whites and the poison spread to the North. KKK membership grew in 1930's as new fighting began with Socialism labor organizers, even the US Nazi Party became targets of KKK attacks. WW2 began, and US troops were segregated again. Harry S. Truman in 1948 ordered the Armed Forces to Integrate. Jackie Robinson was first Black in Major League Baseball in 1947, coming from the Negro Leagues. Obama said as president "There's no better time to be alive than today". Martin Luther King Jr said it would be 40 years before any Black could be president, almost to the year, but here we are. Build upon MLK Jr's dreams, and the work he did as an example. Don't let the Internet trolls distract from the good works that still can be done.

There are 'Duluth's' all over this world today, being exploited just for the wealth a region may possess and left a wasteland after exploiters have made their money & have no further interest in area.
One could say big cities like New York City or LA exploited the land and is a wasteland even occupied.
Gary Indiana comes to mind
Duluth is a prime example of what happens after years of the same political party controlling things for too long. When the same political party controls a place for too long you get stagnation of ideas and things go sour.

Fell asleep watching youtube and here I am, 2 hours later.
I have some friends in Duluth. They invited me to come snowmobiling. It was in January. They didn't warn me how cold it can get. Holy Jeebus! it was -20! My poor diesel truck! I had to go buy warmer clothes. Still had a good time but I won't visit in January ever again. Maybe a summer fishing trip.
Yeah I live here and once I was camping the temperature dropped to -20 at least overnight. Had to heat rocks and put em in my sleeping bag.
I was a kid in the 50's in nearby countryside. We were used to -20. Colder than that, we didn't have to go to school. It can occasionally drop to -40.
Very interesting but it's a shame that it's so difficult to hear. My computer speakers are cranked and youtube volume is as well. :(

It was built in 1890 and torn down somewhere in 2011-2013. That's all I know, but want to know more. Especially if that area was affluent, middle class or lower class back in the early 1900s.
You should ask a librarian
@@robertsaget6918 хахахахаха , и најести се феиковом салатом !!
Теби јасно да није било никакве историје раније 1960 ??!!!!!!
I wish we had another Beacon Hill Pavillion, that place must've been so majestic, especially at night and during its 1892 4th of July fireworks display.
Few pavilions seem to exist anywhere anymore. There is no celebration of site as their once was.
I was looking for the ruins today🥶
The Helpful step down I heard in her voice
So good!
We still got bear and deer on superior street.
Lol barely ever
Beer and deer mostly.
The tunnels are off limits to the public, unless you have a can of spray paint.

The Duluth Art Initiative.
Very interesting ideas
hermosas fotos y tiempos de bonanzas.
right around when she was talking about the overgrown pathway I thought she was going to fall over
И боље да је та лажљива Јеврејка ту на месту погинула .
Just off the railroad tracks above 57th and Medina there was a large train depot. Much of the foundations and bridge pilings can be seen. This area is below the Quarry near the Polaris and Wilbur Vault building which is still standing and in use (the Epicurean Co). I would very much like to see some photos of this, I know the depot burned in the 1930's. Any info would be great.
Did you ever find anything?
Chester Bowl was my playground. I still remember all the places my imagination took me. Catching crayfish under the bridge, fishing in the ponds, hiking along the creek & falling in on occasion, crabapples from the Afterno Home, kissing my first girl in the woods. Oh, yeah! Great place to grow up as a kid.
А сећаш ли се када си постао бот-модулна система цеха ?
Very interesting documentary but I found it sad that they destroyed so many of the magnificent buildings. No class there, it's shameful not to preserve them.
I hope you will present more chapters as there are many more stories to be told, such as the growth and decline of each ethnic community.
Also lost restaurants, night clubs, theaters, stores, the whole downtown got sort of lost...
R.I.P. last place on earth. Jim really lost touch in the end there.
@@jonanderson4474 "Last Place on Earth" was a great record store back in the 80's, without a doubt. Such a shame.
Thank you, enjoyed both segments, however, I found the end a bit abrupt. Will there be a 3rd instalment?
Шта , свиделе Вам се те бездарне евреиско-матричне лажи ?
Wow the "pioneers" sure know how to do brick work it seems.. Cemetary full of obolisks....
Yes...same in graveyards in my area, MD PA & WV. There's more to out "his story"
Yep. Just like every other town country anywhere in this realm
@@barbibutton9619 it must be a conspiracy, it's not like masonry was an in demand trade for centuries especially among European settlers.
Very interesting but I don’t think the music is needed, at least during narration.
That's when Duluth was a great city. Now it's someplace to stay away from. I lived there for some time and so glad I left.
I lived there for a long time, starting in the late 90's.
I still love visiting it, but there are definitely places I don't go now.
Its not that bad yet.. i can for sure see it heading that way though, its only bad downtown really, which is where the most things to do is and where most tourists visit.. that is something i wish about duluth i do love being outside and thouroghly enjoy all the parks year round but i wish we had some more inside stuff for the winter
Duluth is safe not bad at all
@@ANNABODO4612 when I talk to the homeless they usually tell me that its pretty bad , most get robbed from the other homeless people and drug addicts. What kind of ass hole steals from someone with nothing.🤬
Interesting, Thank you. But please in the future do not let the musicians control the audio balance. Older people's ears cannot so easily edit out secondary noise...so the otherwise charming piano score is making me nuts.... please use such era appropriate music is fine for introductions, endings, sand transitions, but to just have it pcontinuously laying straight through the narration is inexcusable. Thank you.
Al Capone's old hide out... From the beast Chicago
Giant stone building half buried in mud .... pavilion.!
Oh and what happened to the landscape? Its completely wiped out! Crazy looking
Да , то је био општи захват читавог света.
I was on a Minecraft video when I fell asleep and woke up to my phone waiting for me to press play on this, I’m fine with it because I get to learn something.
It wasn't diluted I lost it was the people.
Down at the lake where BK used to be I and my son found a square stone chinese ship Anker
I wish you would of mentioned something on the arrowhead bridge.
Is that the one way down in West Duluth?
Oneonta cemetery Duluth Mn
One of the most beautiful cemeteries any where, ANY WHERE!
Look it up!
Many of my relatives intered there. Aunts, uncles, cousins, grand parents. I'd like to be there too m, but I doubt my son and daughter will have any compelling emotional and accessibility to be able to travel there.
Lori K. My Great Grandfather and Great Great Grandmother are buried there. We had an opportunity to visit there several years ago. We had to research in a large old book to find their location. It was an interesting visit.
Was just there a couple weeks ago visiting my fathers grave, as well as a couple old friends whom had passed. You're right, it's a beautiful cemetery.
I would say ANYWHERE.
I live on Restormel street as seen at 22:00
Is there anywhere like this that you know of that would resemble the southern part of the great lakes in the United States? If so please do tell I will pack my motorcycle bags and head there immediately! Your videos are so incredible I show them with everyone I know that loves the north
Хахахаха ти глуп братан ???
Па то није никаква истина изторија а безобразна лаж евреиске матрице !!!!!
America, a question for you. What do places like Rome, London or Budapest for example, appear to have, and which you clearly don't? The luxury of time. The historical timeline and the events which are claimed to have happened are so blindingly ridiculous, its stupid.
Your having been lied to feels unpleasant I'm sure, but just chalk it down to experience and take comfort in knowing you weren't alone! Don't continue to live their lies, live your own. Bon voyage whoever you really are.
Progress our most important product
I don't know if I'd call it "apathy",, ski jumping is REALLY dangerous and there's just not many athletes who want to do such hazardous sports...
History. Love it.
Хахахахах то се зове пасији феик и обман здравог разума !
А ти ботовски дегенерат .
Where is it?
Wonderful history but the music is driving me bonkers! Too bad they couldn't at least have changed it up for part 2! 🥴
Why would not not label the streets you showed pictures of? Seems pointless if you can even give a reference point.
Let's not pave the way for only the weathy?
I've been too an old feed mill for horses...in the middle of soup town...that had a great brothel... specially built...up a separate set of stairs...lot of workin type men and women came through too..
It’s a shame that they couldn’t bring lighting for the camera crews, imagination is needed to fill in.
The richer get richer and the rest of us get what little is left. I remember the signs along the roads for "Burma Shave" I miss those signs. I believe GM bought all the street cars and replaced them with the smelly buses.
You are a whining bitch
GM loved to replace our nation's streetcars so they wouldn't compete with cars, thinking about the 500 miles of track we lost in the Cities
Hey! I live there! :D
So Lost Duluth got a sequel? This is Empire...this is Temple of Doom?
Duluth West Chicago like South Bend East Chicago
The history of ski jumping starting in Minnesota there is wrong, 1883 in Red Wing!
No doubt richy- rich was from Duluth

It's Disturbing And Bothersome To Listen To These "Hysterical"

RESEARCH MUD FLOOD OR 1800S Reset
NOTHING USE WHAT IT SEEMS.
It Is Disturbing
American history of the european settlers is very young. The get rich mentality has in itself been it's downfall of today's politics for none inclusion of all which we see changing to encompass those who have been left behind. God gets the last say and some strive to share and others don't. Never felt sorry for a.materialistic rich person
By the way Jesus only recommended 10%. That is more than enough to help those that only need help. How much is "share" in your mind. Are you a Marxist? Even Chairman Mao made it very clear: if you don't work then you don't eat.
@@curtislowe4577 funny that you say mao lol , I say funny on account of how much business we do with that communist country lmao☠️😂🤑 .
I never feel sorry for superstitious religious people.

Used to be a nice town, now it's a cheap, crowded, commercialized tourist trap.
Good

Why the inappropriate bayou /Cajun background music? Duluth is hardly New Orleans or Waveland, Mississippi. It’s distracting and ruins the otherwise interesting documentary.
He's a local musician, asshole.
Hmmmmm sounds english but I could be wrong
There are billions of reasons why we should have a pyramid in Duluth Minnesota serving the world by the Creator
mud flood.
What's with the incessant cowboy guitar pick'n "music" background? Annoying, you try watching the whole video. Lock up your weapons!! See if you get a bang out of it.
Why is no-one saying The sudden soap reversely obey because bench excitingly man from a ill-fated sandwich. super, permissible sled? Cause it makes no sense, is my guess.
It may have been normal to see a bear down on superior but now, no there are no bears, sadly the most common animal I witness in duluth is the fabled crackhead and the legendary heroin junky.
I just saw a bear and 2 Cubs. Can’t remember where exactly because I’m not from Duluth.
Literally saw a bear yesterday...in Duluth hmmm
Not a single word about the lynching of the 3 black men in 1920 !! Duluth what a wicked city !
Gee I wonder why!
Is that the a Mercia n government
Or how they pushed the indiginous to the next county over. Then "gave" them free range in the swamp.
History isn't perfect. Thats what makes it important. Wicked is inappropriate and a blanket term.
The era just after WW1 had several White Mob riots against Blacks. It was known as The Red Summers.
Tulsa, Oklahoma was a White teen girl accusing a young Black man of "assaulting her". He was in jail, the Blacks fearing his lynching, came with guns. There were arguments, and somebody's gun went off, it turned into a riot. The Whites went into Greenwood District "the Black Wall Street" attacking any Blacks they found. Somebody went up in an airplane and drop fuel bombs on rooftops, soon the entire Greenwood was burning.
Duluth in 1924, had a circus come to town. A white teen girl accused some Black circus workers of "assaulting her", a lynch mob of whites hung 3 Black circus workers, and posed for a group photo, made into a post card.
Lynching post cards used to be mailed through U.S. Post Offices, with people writing notes to each other.
Bob Dylan, looking at a photo of the post card long after 1924, wrote his song "Desolation Row" with lyrics about "circus in town".
I do not glorify these incidents of violence. Let's be sober, and not simply forget this era. US Armed Forces were segregated until 1948, and that was KKK influence in US Govt. The War mixed Dixie whites with other whites and the poison spread to the North. KKK membership grew in 1930's as new fighting began with Socialism labor organizers, even the US Nazi Party became targets of KKK attacks. WW2 began, and US troops were segregated again.
Harry S. Truman in 1948 ordered the Armed Forces to Integrate.
Jackie Robinson was first Black in Major League Baseball in 1947, coming from the Negro Leagues.
Obama said as president "There's no better time to be alive than today". Martin Luther King Jr said it would be 40 years before any Black could be president, almost to the year, but here we are.
Build upon MLK Jr's dreams, and the work he did as an example.
Don't let the Internet trolls distract from the good works that still can be done.
maybe if all goes well a wealthy chinese businessman will buy duluth and perhaps make it something once again?
Wow. Some of that music was amazing.
You're missing an entire bridge connecting Superior and Duluth. There was a mostly wooden steep and scary (for us kids) toll bridge (if not all) in the 50-60's.
A 9hr drive from Milwaukee WI on a two lane "highway". We'd arrive after dark and the bridge was white with bright spot lighting. It freaked us out. I had my eyes closed.
That's my bridge story.
I think that was Lori K's story.
